The country of Turkey is now aiming to get at least 30% of its electricity requirements via renewable energy sources by the year 2023, based on figures put forward in the country’s new (first) National Renewable Energy Action Plan.

Of this target, the country is reportedly aiming for at least 5 gigawatts (GW) worth of that to be via solar photovoltaic (PV) projects. Altogether, the plan calls for Turkey to grow its renewable energy capacity (minus hydroelectric) roughly 7-fold in just ~8 years.

Only a complete fool would totally oppose it!
